Yep, the only strenuous thing I will be doing tomorrow is painting my nails to match my running vest . I have found Blue, Green and White polishes in my stash ! Ha ha :-D

Oh , I have found out that you can track me whilst I'm running , how good is that ?

Sounds like a great day you have planned tomorrow, Just what you need. Hehe I must be with my Dad fish and chips cooked in lard yesterday. Roast pork with cracking today. My weight watchers is sooooo out the window. Boy the foods good here. At least managed a 4km fast walk this morning. 😀

Oh T yes that sounds like good Yorkshire fare. The fish and chips there are something else aren't they ? Delicious !

You can get back on track when you get back to yours , and the walks will keep you ticking over .

Enjoy your stay :-) xxx

All the best for Sunday poppypug as you run around Manchester raising money for your charity. With your attitude you'll have no problems and I'm sure you'll enjoy. I'll try to get out and do something even if it is just to salve my conscience! Looking forward to your pics.

All the best.

Thank you so much Phil, that is really kind of you xxx

I am really looking forward to it , just to enjoy the event and soak up the atmosphere . Plus I can go in the Alzheimers tent after and put my feet up for ten minutes and have a nice relaxing cup of tea Ha ha ! :-D xxx

Oh Poppypug, that is so exiting! When will the event start? Will be tracking you. Fingers crossed for nice weather and good legs :-)

poppypug profile image
poppypugGraduate in reply to PippiRuns

Hi Iben !

It starts at 9.00 am our time . Weather is expected to be about 10-15 degrees with the possibility of showers , sounds like perfect running conditions !

I am wearing my baseball cap just to keep the rain off my specs just in case !

I always end up getting too hot anyway so will be wearing vest and shorts :-) xxx

PippiRuns in reply to poppypug

Sounds good. Will be with you in spirit and on the web at 10 o'clock our time! What is your estimated time if all goes according to plan?

poppypug profile image
poppypugGraduate in reply to PippiRuns

My Asics plan has given me a time of 2hr 31 mins, I will be more than happy with that .

I'm not too bothered about the time with it being my first one . This is a just -see - how -it -goes one ! :-) xxx

PippiRuns profile image
PippiRuns in reply to poppypug

2.31 will be terrific!

I think it is good to not bother too much about time when it is your first one, otherwise you could easily end up pushing yourself too hard in the beginning and not be able to finish. But you know better than that, of course.

Good luck Pops

poppypugGraduate in reply to PippiRuns

Yes , that's exactly my way of thinking, Iben ! Plus, I need to go at a steady pace so I don't crash and burn !

Thank you so much :-) xxx

Hope so, I guess you've noticed that my long runs havn't been so long lately :( Legs have been feeling a bit tired, and me generally a bit under the whether. Hoping that as long as I get out there 3 times a week that my fitness wont drop off too much. Happy Running PoppyPug :)

poppypugGraduate in reply to Zev1963

Hi Zev.

Ah yes I have noticed , I think maybe shorter distances will be good, just to give you a rest . You have done brilliantly with those long , long runs, definitely time to take a break.

Happy Running to you :-) xxx
